From Yahoo! News.
A few blocks from Colorado's state capitol and over 1700 miles from the Atlantic Ocean and a mile above sea level sits the stone Victorian home where one Molly Brown returned to after her harrowing ordeal just shy of 100 years ago.
She and her husband moved into it twenty years before the Titanic sank after he struck it rich on a gold mine.
Molly Brown was on the Titanic because it was the first ship crossing the Atlantic from Europe so she could visit her ailing son.
Today, the house is a museum.
inside is a photo of Molly Brown with Captain Arthur Henry Rostron who had helped rescue the Titanic's surviving passengers. On May 29, 1912 he was given a trophy cup award for his efforts.
Of interest in the home is a copy of Brown's insurance claims for items she lost when the Titanic went down including a $20,000 necklace (perhaps the one the movie was looking for), a brown velvet gown valued at $300 and two Japanese kimonos for $50.
